Iran’s foreign ministry says that the United States is not serious about pursuing diplomacy, citing what it called “violations” of their two-week ceasefire, AFP reports.
“While claiming diplomacy and readiness for negotiations, the US is carrying out behaviours that do not in any way indicate seriousness in pursuing a diplomatic process,” said ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei in a weekly press briefing.
He said a US attack on an Iranian cargo ship, the US naval blockade on Iranian ports, and delays in implementing a ceasefire in Lebanon were all “clear violations of the ceasefire”.
